BELLS OF THE ANGELUs.
BRET HARTE.


Bells of the past, whose unforgotten music
still fills the wide expanse
TiDglng the sober twilight of the present
With color of romancel
hear you call and see the sun descending
On rocks and waves and sand,
AS down the coast the mission voices blending
Glrdle the heathen land
Within the circle Of your incarnation
No blight or mlldew falls;
Nor fierce unrest, nor lust nor lost ambition
Passes those airy walls
Borne on the swell Of your long waves reeedlng,
touch the farther past
I see the dying glow of Spanish glory,
The sunset dream and last
Before me rise the dome shaped mission towers,
The white preside,
The swart commander In his leathern ierkln,
The priest In stole of snow.
Once more see Fortala's cross uplifting
Above the setting sun,
And past the headland, northward slowly drift
ing,
The frelghted galleon.
o solemn bells whose consecrated masses
Recall the faith of old
tlnklng bells that lulled with twilight music
The spiritual fold.
Your voices break, they falter in the darkness
Break, falter and are still;
And, yelled and mystic, like the host descending
The sun sinks from the hill.

THE REPUBLICAN, PAPERS DON'T
AGREE.

Some papers, like the Repository,
want the Dow law improved, local
option extended and the tax raised. 1t
is true the oracle of the Repository is
in no hurry, willing to wait years.
On the other hand, the Toledo Com
mercial says: "The Republicans will
have a majority of fourteen in the State
Senate and twenty in the House. This
will make the party responsible for
their action and every Republican
member should feel the necessity for
avoiding obnoxious legislation. The
liquor laws should not be disturbed
The people are satisfied with them as
they are, at least until they can have II
full and fair trial. The Republican
party is in good position and the Legis-
lature can not better it by attempts at
change. Let well enough alone. At
tend strictly to necessary business and
adjourn as soon as the legitimate work
of the session can be disposed Of"
In reply to the Toledo Commercial,
the Cincinnati Times-Star says: "The
Dow law has had fair enough trial
and has been found satisfactory. The
system of taxation and local option vim
dicates. There should be no departure
from this principle by the new Legis-
lature, or any future Legislature, unless
social conditions and public opinion
shall undergo q radical change. But
we think that there ought to be a
further development of the policy of
local option, and in line with the Dow
law and in response to popular senti-
ment. The party has promised pro-
gressive legislation. 1t must be faithful
to its word. The General Assembly
might well disturb the Dow law, at
the coming session, to the extent of
granting option to townships. This
would be keeping abreast with public
opinion" as the party was pledged to
do in the Toledo platform. Nothing
will be gained by timid and halting
course. Republicans must show the
courage of their convictions and of
their platform. 1t is the best policy as
well as the best principle"
These gentlemen can settle it among
themselves. Having strong majority
in both branches, they surely ought to
do something worth while-especially
if theirs is the great temperance prohi-
bition party of high renown.

EDITOR O'BRIEN, In prison at Tulla-
more, Ireland, for exercising free speech
too freely under Tory Rule, is now a
point ahead.
He refused to put on the prison suit,
and in order to compel him, the jailer
slipped into his cell quietly one morning
and took away Mr.. O'Brien's clothes.
He has not worn any clothing since but
has remained in bed.
And now, to the surprise of the jailer
the other morning, that functionary
found Mr.. O'Brien in new suit. This
suit had got in mysteriously.
Score one for O'Brien and his friends.

IF you do not believe the DAILY
DEMOCRAT has life and vigor, take it
and see.
The DEMOCRATS Democracy is a
living principle; presented in plain
English, fairly and forcibly expressed.
Its newsy character is admitted on
all hands, and it is inEall respects the
best and safest family paper in Canton.
Let citizens Of Canton, regardless Of
party predictions, take the DEMOCRAT
and be convinced.

THE HUE AND CRY.

The organs of malice and meanness,
like the Cleveland Leader, are already
bowling their hue and cry for the next
campaign
The bloody shirt; negroes not allowed
to vote; the horrible South and the
other usual clap trap, will be the prom
inent features.
Senator Sherman's Every simple plat
form" is first, the protection of Ameri-
can industries, and, second, fair count
of the vote in the Southern States"
Nobody proposes depriving industries
of all the protection they need. The
revenue reformers only advocate few
tariff changes, which would not bring
the average duty down to the point
advocated by the Republicans in 1SS3
The surplus can be prevented and still
leave ample protection and ample
revenue.
The cheek of Senator Sherman is
seen in his talk about fair count" The
country has not forgotten that unfair
count by which Hayes was made Presi-
dent, and in which Mr. Sherman largely
participated. The people are not so
simple as to swallow Senator Sherman's
simple platform"

THE official roster of the next house
of representatives shows 1863 Demo
Gratis, 153 Republicans and four "Inde-
pendents," The four Independents
are really Labor Democrats, being An
derson, of Iowa; Smith, of Wisconsin,;
Hopkins, of Virginia, and Nichol, Of
North Carolina. Of these it is general
ly understood that Anderson, at least
will go into the Democratic caucus,
and the present probabilities are upon
the vote of the officers of the house all
the so-called Independents will vote for
the regular Democratic nominees. AS
it stands, the Democrats have certain
plurality Of 10, and if the Independents
act as Democrats there will be a maxi
mum Democratic majority of 10.

THE leaders of the Henry George
party in New York purpose to take DR..
McGlynn's advice and abandon the
name of United Labor party. They
have issued a circular containing sixty
nine names, from which they desire the
members to select. A ballot for new
party name will be had shortly. The
list suggests among Others the follow
ing new titles: "Anti-landlord," "anti-
rent" "anti-usury," commonwealth" /"
financial and industrial" ''free land"
"free soil" "higher law" 'inalienable
right" "Jeffersonian," "Knights of Lib

in 1884, would as between Cleveland and
Blaine, have chosen the the former, just
as the third party men in 1876 and 1880
would have preferred Tilden and Han
cock. The United States has been
strongly anti-Republican since 1874,
the year of memorable tidal wave con-
sequent on universal disgust at Grant
ism. The Republicans have never
been able to get back the vantage
ground they occupied prior to that year,
and they never will.

THE WAYNE Oonntv nemncr

The Wayne County Democrat: A
spirit of conciliation and compromise
would have prevented the war between
the North and South. A spirit of fra
ternity that recognizes the South as
coequal in the Union will reconcile the
South to its defeat and beget an endur-
ing love for the Union. The declara-
ton of Governor Foraker that the
South was SO whipped that it could not
be forced into corner and insulted in
to fight, is neither sensible nor mag
nanimous, nor conducive to fraternity.

The Repository of Saturday quotes
from Col. Smiley in the Massillon Inde-
pendent as to Jefferson Davis being
'superannuated, vain and childish
This twain and childish" old man seems
to trouble those people yet. They were
fierce to hang him when they had him a
prisoner, and indicted him promptly
but then let him go without even trial!
Under these circumstances one would
suppose they would shut up and quit
abusing him as they do. If Davis was
such terrible traitor as they claim
why was he not tried, convicted and dis
posed of?

THE REPS 11TnRARY FH1Lowsl

SOME ''erudite" literary( Dfellows have
tastes so gorgeous and refined (?) that
they loftily imagine the only literature
worth considering, is that of to-day"
as it appears in the Repository. They
have little regard for Shakespeare, or
Milton, or Pope, or Burns, etc. They
have got away ahead of them! They
regard them as old fossils, intensely
ignorant Of the practical growth and
worldwide thought of the presentP
These "brimfrll," worldwide thought"
chaps have it all!
"Conceit, where wit falls, comes to our defense.
And fills up all the mighty void Of sense"
The following specimen will show one
of their gems. 1t is taken from the Re-
pository Of the 18th inst;
McsREGoR's MOUTH.
Blatant Cavity,
Lips for doors,
No sound OF suavlty,
Only roars.

"Superhuous slit"
This, no doubt, the author i1nagines
rare specimen of "erudite, worldwide
thought One can easily understand
from this stuff where the cavity" is.
Seriously, is it not surprising that
such stuff should find q place, even in
the Repository? And yet this sheet is
the organ of "all the intelligence in
Canton! Is it not enough for "Republi-
cans disgusts"?
THE DEMOCRAT could not afford
to write such "roars;" it had "better
raising" Itmay do for these "erudite"
geniuses of worldwide thought! They
claim to range in "the broad domains
of the literature of today" The fore
going "spasmodic sputtering," shows
the extent of their "broad domainsr'
These scrubs surely never got out of
the spelling book-if they ever got in
to it. Assuredly, they and common
sense were never in companionship.
